A Shaker style Lap Desk that I made for my eldest grandson. The spalted Pine grain is awesome! Zoom in and look! (3rd photo) It has bread board ends and hand cut dovetailed corners. Lid has brass flap stay and hinges

Love Shaker. This is a classic design, yet still quite functional in the day of Laptops, and Tablets. Plus quite a bit of storage right there. Nice build.

Really cool design!
Having the lid work as a tablet rest and using a groove versus a lip to hold the tablet base is a clever solution (avoids "stuff" protruding far above the top surface when closed.

Wood is amazing and joinery is A+

I like everything about it except the left breadboard end—the front spot looks like it has a splotch. Maybe it’s just the way the picture came out but as inexpensive as good pine is….
